Because it's a niche group game, it's brutal, more forgiving than some roguelikes but unforgiving enough for you to make a combo of curse words at your DS when you die, it's savage...And because Log, TLO and Gez play it as well.

Made it to Floor 27 (Phantom Trials) in Shiren, but died of hunger. And I was right beside the stairs too...And if it weren't for me turning the map into a monster house, I would have been dead long before.To be quite fair, in the latter levels I just booked it for the exit. Fighting with only a Polearm+2 is near suicide, but I was lucky to pick up a Armor Ward+3.

And a warning; kill Skull Wraiths before they can cast a spell on you; Delevel, Confuse, Slow, Seal or Riceball.

Then your friend has excellent taste as well.The PSP version has voice acting? Dang... Quite an improvement over the GBA version.And I assume it's the GBA version that your friend has then? (Either one's good)

I swear to God you guys are going to get me started on that damn game again I brought my entire DS library with me on my trip "just in case". The first downtime I get I'm playing Shiren..
